but the constitution of the Committee renders it impossible to refer to the general 

 progress made in Germany in the present report. A recommendation for the addi- 

 tion of a representative of the Biologische Anstalt was passed at the Edinburgh 

 Meeting. 



The Danish vessel „Thor" and the Scottish vessel „Goldseeker" have not 

 yet begun operations. In Scotland, however, an assistant has been sent on board 

 a steam trawler to register the place of fishing, and to obtain records of the num- 

 bers of marketable and unmarketable fish caught in various parts of the North 

 Sea. A proportion of the fish is measured. 



In Denmark journals are kept on board all the cutters fishing in the Katte- 

 gat and North Sea.
